Quick Transmigration: Hehe, the gluttonous girl is here!

A mountain breeze carrying a cool mist blew over.

Jiang Li took more than a dozen photos in a row, and the emptiness in her stomach and the feeling of physical exhaustion surged up at the same time.

She walked over and sat down on the long wooden bench next to her.

Qiao Yue excitedly leaned over with her camera to look through the photos.

"Lili, look! This composition is amazing!"

Jiang Li leaned closer.

In the video, Jiang Li has just turned her head, and her hair is a little messy from the wind.

But at the edge of the photo, in the shadow of that century-old pine tree, stands a person.

Pei Shiheng had a tall and straight figure.

Even though the camera wasn't focused on him, it was clear that he was looking in this direction.

The man's gaze pierced through the lens and across the screen.

Restraint, focus.

It also carries a possessiveness and hidden greed that leaves one nowhere to hide.

The photo captured that inexplicable entanglement.

Even though there was a distance between them, their relationship was more ambiguous than if they were standing together.

Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat.

She could almost hear again the deep, husky, and magnetic breath he had on the back of her neck when they were halfway up the mountain.

[Honey, this is a killer shot!]

In my mind, the system's mechanical voice echoed softly.

[This photo could easily be titled: "The Gentle Male Supporting Character's Malicious Intentions: A True Account."]

Jiang Li's eyelashes trembled slightly as she handed the camera back to Qiao Yue.

Her face looked calm, but there was still a trace of heat lingering in her ears.

She saved that photo on her phone.

The reasons are quite legitimate.

The composition is good, the lighting is good, and the sea of ​​flowers is beautiful.

As for the man with the outrageous gaze at the edge of the photo, he just happened to be in the picture.

[Honey, this is a great find, it's quite collectible.]

The system's voice rang in my mind, its tone quite irritating.

[I suggest creating a separate album and naming it "Senior Pei's Not-So-Clean"]

Jiang Li expressionlessly stuffed her phone into her pocket.

She decided to temporarily block this virtual best friend.

The camping and barbecue area on the mountaintop is built behind a flat viewing platform.

Several large, windproof canopy tents were lined up on the soft lawn, and the smoke from the charcoal fire drifted in the wind.

As she approached, Qiao Yue spotted someone not far away.

"Lu Chengye and the others have arrived."

Jiang Li followed her gaze.

Lu Chengye stood beside a long table, his eyebrows and eyes still arrogant, holding a bottle of water in his hand.

Lin Xiaoman was limping as she helped arrange the skewers on the plate.

Her leg injury hadn't healed yet, so she walked very carefully.

But the more she does this, the more hardworking and sensible she seems.

Several girls nearby saw this and whispered praises for her competence.

Lu Chengye looked up when he heard the noise, and his gaze first fell on Jiang Li.

The next moment, he saw Pei Shiheng standing next to Jiang Li.

The fabric clung to her shoulders and back in the wind, highlighting her crisp shoulder line and narrow waist.

That understated elegance stands out in a crowd.

Lu Chengye's eyes darkened.

"Ginger and Pear".

He put down the water bottle, got up, and walked towards her.

As he approached, Lu Chengye's gaze swept over Pei Shiheng before returning to Jiang Li's face.

"I was just helping out casually, don't overthink it."

He said that very quickly.

It conveyed an explanation, but also a hint of anxiety that he himself was unaware of.

"Um."

Jiang Li responded.

Lu Chengye frowned, seemingly uncomfortable with her overly cold attitude.

Pei Shiheng stood quietly to the side, without saying a word.

But his presence was too strong.

He was only standing half a step to her side.

This distance is very polite.

It's easy for people to feel that he's always protecting her.

Looking at this scene, Lu Chengye felt an even greater discomfort in his chest.

"Did you have a pleasant journey?"

As soon as he said it, even he could detect a hint of bitterness in his voice.

"It's alright, at least the mountain road is more interesting than the cable car."

Jiang Li looked up at him.

Qiao Yue felt a chill run down her spine and quickly squeezed between the two people, clutching her camera.

"Alright, alright, everyone's tired from climbing the mountain."

Let's eat something first; it's not good to stand here in the wind.

Pei Yubai also tried to smooth things over.

"Yes, yes, yes, if we don't eat meat soon, I, the photographer, will starve to death."

The atmosphere then relaxed a bit.

Everyone quickly dispersed and sat down around the barbecue table.

Lu Chengye was just about to sit down next to Jiang Li.

Pei Yubai stood up abruptly, affectionately put his arm around his shoulder, and pulled him to the other side.

"Brother Ye, you've come at the right time. My brother said he'd pay the bill today."

Come and take a look at this selection of drinks. Pick a few bottles of good wine, and some fruit wines and soft drinks too. Any girls want some?

This immediately freed up the space to the right of Jiang Li.

Qiao Yue plopped down to Jiang Li's left and lowered her head, pretending to be engrossed in her phone.

Pei Shiheng did not try to take the empty seat.

He walked leisurely around to the other side of the dining table and sat down in the folding chair diagonally opposite Jiang Li.

The man's long legs were casually crossed, and his dark casual trousers had a beautiful drape.

The fabric clung tightly to the powerful muscle lines of the thighs, and the perfect figure with broad shoulders and a narrow waist was faintly visible under the thin, soft fabric.

With a casual wave of his hand, his clothes clung to his back, releasing a surge of masculine hormones that made one blush and their heart race.

Jiang Li sat opposite, her gaze involuntarily lingering for a few seconds on that lean and strong waistline.

This man was like a walking generator, every detail perfectly matching her aesthetic preferences.

He picked up the neatly packaged cutlery box from the table.

With long, slender fingers, she slowly and methodically peeled off the plastic film and carefully rinsed the chopsticks and plates with mineral water.

Then he handed the clean set of tableware to Jiang Li.

In the instant of the handover, the man's hot, dry fingers seemed to brush against Jiang Li's hand unintentionally.

The rough touch that was so quick to leave carried an indescribable electric current, rushing straight up the spine from the nerve endings, making half of Jiang Li's body feel numb and weak.

Even the faint scent of cedarwood became scalding hot and sticky.

Her breathing became labored, and she subconsciously looked up.

Pei Shiheng's deep, dark eyes held only gentleness and propriety, showing absolutely no sign of overstepping any boundaries.

But that gaze, which seemed almost tangible, remained fixed on her face, conveying a silent allure.

Everyone around was busy with their own things, assuming it was just a good-natured senior taking care of a junior.

Completely unaware of the intense, ambiguous undercurrents unfolding within that small space.

Lu Chengye, who was being forcibly dragged to pick out wine, turned his head and happened to see the whole scene.

The feeling of anger at having his territory silently invaded by outsiders made his chest feel tight.

He casually picked out a drink, strode back to the table, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Jiang Li.

"Jiang Li, have some of this."

Jiang Li looked at the bottle.

Lime sparkling water.

It has a refreshing aroma and a slightly sour taste.

She doesn't dislike it, but she doesn't particularly like it either.

To be precise, Jiang Li has almost never ordered this flavor on her own initiative.

Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Lu Chengye frowned.

He had spent a lot of time and patience with Lin Xiaoman, but now, faced with Jiang Li's cold treatment, he was starting to lose his temper.

"Here you go. I was wrong earlier, so please don't hold a grudge against me anymore, okay?"

Her voice softened slightly, but the implication remained that she was being unreasonable.

Pei Yubai walked over with a few bottles of beer, a smile playing on his lips as he exaggeratedly laughed.

"Brother Ye, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Isn't this lime sparkling water Lin Zhi used to love?"
